Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1188280755.shtml

It begins:

	Entering the last round, Movsesian and Akopian led,
	with Ponomariov half a point behind. Akopian tried
	the "official" drawing variation - the Marshall -
	but Shirov accepted the pawn (good!), survived the
	complications and won the game. Movsesian had to
	suffer a bit against Timman, but he created an
	unbreachable fortress and that game was drawn. He
	needed that draw, too, because Ponomariov (also
	with Black!) demolished Laznicka in a beautiful
	attacking game, tying for first (but coming in
	second on tiebreaks). Finally, there's a result I'd
	rather not mention: Korchnoi lost (with Black) to
	Navara, concluding a terrible tournament....
